Yes to Javascript and HTML5 but they should still support Flash.

Considering it's a completely ancillary device that I can use a combination of my ipod touch, ps3 and desktop pc for, and given that the price is worth half a car to me, I wouldn't buy one in a month of sundays :P Even the ipod touch was tough to justify to myself!
Nope. I'm getting an iPhone after the refresh, and I can't justify buying both in a short space of time. I'll definitely be dropping by the Apple store at some point next week for a quick touch & feel. Enjoy! :D
And no, I honestly wouldn't trust Adobe to come up with a solid Flash player for the iPhone. The current Android implementation falls short of convincing... and it's taken them this long with full access to the platform. If you've been paying attention to the exchanges in the Flash war, Adobe's been hit pretty brutally by Apple, backed up by Microsoft and Opera among others. Adobe's returning arguments have been ridiculed by bloggers and journalists.
Huh? I played Angry Birds HD on a 14 hour flight (for basically the whole flight) and by the time I got off the flight I still had like 45% battery left..
I also haven't chipped mine yet (and I've had it for quite a while now) but I have dented the edge as I dropped it in the airport lol. So unless you drop it a lot then it won't chip/scratch easily.
